1 METRIC/IMPERIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cut the Pipe Square Cut the pipe square. There is no need to prepare the pipe end. Chamfering or lubrication is not required. 2. Insert Liner in MDPE pipe With MDPE pipe a liner must be used to ensure conformance with WRAS. 3. No Liner or Insert Required for Imperial Pipe For connections to imperial PE pipe (BS1972/3284 and IRS 135 Heavy Gauge) a liner or insert is not required. 4. Ready to Use Position The fitting is pre-assembled and ready to use, however always ensure the nut is fully relaxed and 2 threads are showing before inserting the pipe. 5. Pipe Insertion Insert the pipe fully into the fitting to the point where the stop is felt. 6. Nut Tightening The nut should be tightened by hand and then firmly with a wrench. 7. Fully Installed Fitting is now fully installed. 8. Imperial Fully Installed For connections to Imperial PE pipe (BS1972/3284 and IRS 135 Heavy Gauge) steps 5 to 8 are the same as for MDPE connections. 9. Disassembly To disassemble the fitting simply loosen the nut using a wrench until 2 threads are showing. Pipe will be released and can simply be pulled out of the fitting. Note: Philmac recommends the use of PTFE tape on BSP threads to ensure a positive seal. 7. Fully Installed Fitting is now fully installed. METRIC/IMPERIAL TECHNICAL MANUAL 5

Witness Mark the Pipe To ensure the correct insertion depth witness mark the pipe by lining up the pipe against the fitting, using the flange of the body as an indicator. 3. Pipe Insertion Insert the pipe fully into the fitting up to the witness mark. 4. Nut tightening The nut should be tightened by hand. 5. Nut Tightening The nut should be tightened firmly with multi-grips or similar plumbing tools until the nut just touches the flange on the body of the fitting. 6. Fully Installed The fitting is fully installed when the nut butts against the flange of the body. METRIC/IMPERIAL TECHNICAL MANUAL 7

THREADED FITTINGS - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Philmac 3G Compression fittings offer a range of advantages over metal threaded fittings Faster, Easier and Reliable Installation.

Based on over 40 years experience Philmac manufactured the World s first all-plastic compression fitting in 1968. With over 40 years experience you can trust Philmac 3G to perform.

Less Friction Philmac threaded fittings require significantly less effort to install. Delivered through the use of high performance plastic that provide far less friction than metal on metal threads.

5 THREADED FITTINGS - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Philmac 3G Compression fittings offer a range of advantages over metal threaded fittings Faster, Easier and Reliable Installation. Less Effort through lower friction Based on over 40 years of experience in Europe and Australia Exploits the properties of Polypropylene to reduce the installation effort compared to metal threads Based on over 40 years experience Philmac manufactured the World s first all-plastic compression fitting in With over 40 years experience you can trust Philmac 3G to perform. Manufactured from Engineering Plastics Philmac threaded fitting bodies are manufactured from high performance engineering plastics which delivers significant benefits. Less Friction Philmac threaded fittings require significantly less effort to install. Delivered through the use of high performance plastic that provide far less friction than metal on metal threads. New Approach to Installation Philmac 3G fittings usher in a new era of thread connection. The high performance materials comform to slight irregularities in metal threads, whereas metal to metal joints tend to bind increasing the installation effort. Smaller Lighter tools A simple set of multi-grip pliers can be used to install a Philmac threaded fitting. Gone are the days when you need a large wrench to install and tighten a threaded fitting. Proven Performance Philmac threaded fittings are built tough and are used world-wide by water companies, civil contractors, plumbers and in rural applications. Example - Male Adapter into a metal valve 1. Apply PTFE tape or suitable* sealant to the plastic thread ensuring sufficient is applied to ensure a watertight seal. 2. Using your hands, screw the thread of the Male Adapter into the valve until firm. 3. Grip the body of the 3G fitting with Multi-grips or similar plumbing tools and continue to screw the Male Adapter into the valve until tight. Stop if the shoulder of the 3G fittings touches the other fitting.. * Note: Philmac recommends the use of PTFE tape on threads to ensure a positive seal. If a liquid or paste sealant is used ensure it is suitable to be used with both Polypropylene and the material being connected to the Philmac fitting. METRIC/IMPERIAL TECHNICAL MANUAL 9
